For Callie McFay, a
half-witch/half-fey professor of folklore and Gothic literature, the fight to
save the enchanted town of Fairwick, New York, is far from over. After a
hostile takeover by the Grove—a sinister group of witches and their
cohorts—many of the local fey have been banished or killed, including Callie’s
one true love. And in place of the spirit of tolerance and harmony, the new
administration at Fairwick College has fostered an air of danger and distrust.

With her unique magical abilities, Callie is the only one who can rescue her
friends from exile and restore order to the school—a task that requires her to
find the Angel Stone, a legendary talisman of immense power. Propelled on an
extraordinary quest back to seventeenth-century Scotland, Callie risks her life
to obtain the stone. Yet when she encounters a sexy incarnation of her lost
love, she finds the greater risk is to her heart. As the fate of Fairwick hangs
in the balance, Callie must make a wrenching choice: reclaim a chance for
eternal passion or save everything she holds dear.

The Angel Stone is the final installment in the Fairwick Chronicles. While I’ve had my issues here and there I have to say that overall I
really enjoyed this trilogy and will miss the characters and setting. The
Demon Lover was sexy, unique, and compelling; The Water Witch, while
I mostly enjoyed it, had the most issues of the trilogy, in my opinion, and was
kind of slow paced;and The Angel Stone seemed like more of a return to the
first book with a faster pace and engaging story.

Each story brought
something new that kept me guessing and wanting more. In The Angel Stone,
the new element was time travel. While completely unexpected, it was definitely
my favourite part of the book. I thought it was all tied together really well,
and Callie’s reasons for going to Scotland in the 1600s fit in with everything
the reader already knows from the previous books. Fairwick has changed so much
since the door to Faerie closed, and Callie and those who are left behind just
want things back to normal, and the only way to fix things is to travel back in time.

In the last book, I
found myself getting really irritated with Callie. Not only was she completely
oblivious to things that should have been obvious, but she also couldn’t seem
to make up her mind about anything, especially her love life. She was so hurt about what happened with
Liam but that didn’t stop her from falling in love with Bill and being
interested in Duncan. In The Angel Stone, she seemed to finally have her head
on straight, and she was focused on doing what had to be done to keep the
people and the town she’d come to know and love safe.

Like with the other
books in the Fairwick Chronicles, there was a great cast of secondary
characters in The Angel Stone. I particularly liked Frank, Mac, Nan, and
William. They each taught Callie something, and I loved how well fleshed-out
they were. I also really love Ralph. I never thought I'd love a mouse (other than maybe Mickey Mouse) but if I could have a mouse like him, I would!

I often dread the final book in a series
or trilogy because sometimes things don’t end well, or there are a lot of loose ends. I
thought Dark did a good job of bringing everything together and tying it all up. By the last
quarter or so of the book I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough; I was so
anxious to find out what would happen and how things would be resolved, and I
found myself both laughing and crying. And the romance. *sigh* The romance
played a major part in this series, between dreams, reality, and the present
and the past, and I thought it all came together beautifully. I couldn't imagine how things would be resolved, and this little romantic *points to self* thought it was perfect.

This trilogy, while
it had some issues, had everything I love: romance, great characters, a
fascinating setting, every paranormal creature you could think of, time travel,
fairytale elements, magic…I could go on. I’d have no hesitation in recommending
it to fans of paranormal romance, and I truly am going to miss Callie and the
Fairwick gang.

Have you read any of the books in the Fairwick Chronicles? Do you enjoy paranormal romance?
